I'm trying to setup pushpool + bitcoind. However, when I connect to pushpool with cpuminer I receive this error:

[2013-04-21 12:47:47] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds  
[2013-04-21 12:48:17] JSON-RPC call failed: {  
   "code": -2,  
   "message": "upstream RPC error"  
}  
[2013-04-21 12:48:17] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds  

I see this error in the pushpool server log:

    "rpc.user": "username",  
    "rpc.pass": "password",  
    "rpc.target.rewrite": true  
}  

I have tried to change ports, and even rebooted the server, nothing helps.

It's due to miss-sync of bitcoind in my case.

Just wait the bitcoind sync with the bitcoin network (9GB actually), and after you can use it.

du -ksh ~/.bitcoin/ will give the size.
